Manager

See also: manager and mánager

German

Noun

Manager m ‎(genitive Managers, plural Manager)

manager (see usage notes below)
agent of an artist or sportsperson

Usage notes

The word is used in a narrower sense in German than it is in English. Generally, it refers to a member of the management of a company or profit-oriented organization, usually one of larger size.
Due to this use, German Manager may have a negative connotation, particularly in Socialist or left-wing contexts.
